Definition of Term- The part of a camera that the photographer looks through to compose and to focus the picture.
Study Guide Resources- Older cameras have separate viewfinders but these all suffer parallax (the viewfinder image is slightly different angle than what the camera lens sees)
- The SINGLE LENS REFLEX (SLR or DSLR) camera lets the viewfinder share the main camera lens (single lens) by using a mirror that flips out of the way (reflex) when taking a photo. This lets the photographer see exactly what is going to be recorded.
